ATTACK PACKET DETECTING APPARATUS, ATTACK PACKET DETECTING METHOD, VIDEO RECEIVING APPARATUS, CONTENT RECORDING APPARATUS, AND IP COMMUNICATION APPARATUS

摘要

A network interface (101) includes: a packet receiving unit (103); a packet buffer (105); and a transfer unit (106) which transfers packets accumulated in the packet buffer to a main memory (102), and further including: an attack detecting unit (107) which detects an attack in which a large number of packets is transmitted, based on an accumulated amount of packets in the packet buffer (105); a table storing unit (110) for storing an attack packet table (109) in which attack packet identification information is registered; an update unit (108) which updates the attack packet table (109), using information obtained from the packets accumulated in the packet buffer; and a discarding unit (104a) which discards the packets received by the packet receiving unit (103) when the packets correspond to the updated attack packet information, before the packets are transferred to the main memory.
